| Summary: | “The Key Sank’’ [1950] is Abba Kovner’s second poem, which focused on the partisans’ life. The romantic cliché, putting city versus forest as a mental as well as ecological opposition, presented here as an abyss into which all the young boys and girls sunk while choosing life of struggle in the forest and thus, were obliged to abandon their parents and families back in their blockaded hometown. The key for moral justification to this tragic choice will never be found. By calling the 12 chapters of the poem “stones’’, Kovner emphasized mainly the petrificated hearts of the heroes : the 12 stones stand as a Biblical monument for an unsolved and painful testimony. |
